What is the walk to Emmaus? The Walk to Emmaus is a spiritual retreat weekend for men and women. The walk is based on the story in Luke 24:13-35 where the two friends are walking on the road to Emmaus and encounter Christ but they don’t recognize him until he reveals himself. Just like our daily walks in life, we are interacting with others but often aren’t paying attention to, or aren’t seeing, how Christ walks beside us. The Upper Room, the organization responsible for the creation of the Walk to Emmaus, tells us the following: While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself came near and walked with them. – Luke 24:15 The walk to Emmaus is an experience of Christian spiritual renewal and formation that begins with a three-day short course in Christianity. It is an opportunity to meet Jesus Christ in a new way as God’s grace and love is revealed to you through other believers. The Walk to Emmaus experience begins with the prayerful discernment and invitation from a sponsor. The objective of Emmaus is to inspire, challenge, and equip the local church members for Christian action in their homes, churches, communities and places of work. Emmaus lifts up a way for our grace-filled lives to be lived and shared with others. Just like Christ, we are unable to serve, or hear the ways we are to serve our Father until we spend time alone with Him. Jesus went off on his own in a variety of ways, and a variety of places to “be” with God and to be in “communication” with Him. During this three day event, you will hear talks from both clergy and lay persons about the relationship God wants with each of us, and methods to discern what He wants for your life. There are memorable ceremonies and opportunities for individual and corporate worship, in an atmosphere of worship and conversations with other believers. You may not get specifics from past participants because each individual has their own personal experiences and reactions and they don’t want their experiences to dictate yours. What most of us do know is that the Walk to Emmaus has had a significant impact on our lives, either during the three day event or in the days following, which we call our “4th days”. God’s timing will always be the determination of when you will go, but talk to Him about his plan for that timing and open yourself up to the possibility of going and renewing yourself in an effort to move forward for His plans for your life.
